Method and System for Enhanced Management of Missed Phone Calls

1. A method for managing a missed call, the method comprising: registering a missed call in a phone of a calling party when a called party does not pick up a call; registering a calling party phone number as a caller identification (ID) in a called party phone; registering a timeout value from the calling party; sending the timeout value to the called party phone; comparing the timeout value against a current time in the called party phone; and deleting the caller (ID) of a caller ID register in the called party phone if the timeout value matches the current time.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising synchronizing a time in the calling party phone with a time in the called party phone.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein sending is conducted via a telecommunications network.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the telecommunications network includes a short message service protocol.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the timeout value includes a date for triggering deletion of the caller ID from the call register.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a mobile service provider sends the timeout value to the called party phone via the telecommunications network.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sending occurs independently in a follow-up call operation.

8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising annotating parenthetical information for called party.

9. A system for managing a missed call, the method comprising: a system for registering a missed call in a calling party phone when a called party does not pick up a call; a system for registering a calling party phone number as a caller ID in the called party phone; a system for registering a timeout value from the calling party; a system for sending the timeout value to the called party phone; a system for comparing the timeout value against a current time in the called party phone; and a system for deleting the caller (ID) of calling party from the system for registering a calling party phone number when the timeout value matches the current time.

10. The system of claim 9 , further comprising a system for transferring the timeout value issued by timeout issuer from calling party phone to called party phone via a telecommunication network.

11. The system of claim 10 wherein the telecommunications network includes a short message service protocol.

12. The system of claim 9 further includes a system for synchronizing time in the calling party phone with time in the called party phone.

13. The system of claim 9 , further comprising a system for storing timeout values received from the timeout issuer.

14. The system of claim 9 , further comprising a time comparator for comparing timeout values in the timeout register with the current time to determine removal of caller ID.

15. The system of claim 9 , further comprising a system for verifying with calling party on choice of removing the missed call from the call register in the called party phone.

16. The system of claim 10 , further comprising a mobile service provider for sending the timeout value to the called party phone via the telecommunications network.

17. The system of claim 10 , further comprising an annotator for creating parenthetical information for called party.

18. A computer readable medium for storing a program product for managing a missed call, the program product including program code for: registering a missed call in a calling party phone when a called party does not pick up a call; registering a calling party phone number as a caller identification (ID) in the called party phone; registering a timeout value from the calling party; synchronizing time in the calling party phone with time in the called party phone; sending the timeout value to the called party phone; comparing timeout values against a current time in the called party phone; and deleting caller (ID) of the calling party from a caller ID register in the called party phone when the timeout value matches the current time.

19. The program product of claim 18 , further includes a program code for enabling a mobile service provider to initiate sending of the timeout value to the called party phone via a telecommunications network.

20. The program product of claim 18 , further includes a program code for enabling the calling party to initiate the sending of the timeout value to the called party phone independently in a follow-up operation from the missed call.

21. The program product of claim 18 , further includes a program code for enabling the calling party to select and create parenthetical information for called party.

22. A method for deploying an application for managing a missed call, the method comprising: providing a computer infrastructure being operable to: register a missed call in a calling party phone if a called party does not pick-up a call; register a calling party phone number as a caller identification (ID) in a called party phone; register a timeout value from the calling party; send the timeout value to the called party phone; compare the timeout value against a current time in the called party phone; and delete the caller ID from a caller ID register in the called party phone if the timeout value matches the current time.
